So a punchers chance is saying we might get lucky as we wont have the biggest offer but for example might guarantee starting time versus being a backup elsewhere. The odds may not favor us but we might be his best choice if money isn't the only factor.

Don't really know what some of you expect from him at this point. He didn't put us in the mess we are in and if you thought we were gonna just go out and sign whoever we wanted is crazy. Give the man some time to put his stamp on things before declaring him hurney 2.0

This is the same guy who said he would use free agency to fill holes so we could go bpa in the draft.- He has not verbally back pedaled on this statement yet, but some of you gladly will let him because its so fun to blame everything on Hurney.

He also said if your not improving the bottom part of your roster you not improving. -Resigning Hartsock,Brockel, Senn, and bring in the likes of Frank Omiyale and Chris Williams is not improving poo. There's plenty of players at the bottom of the roster who could be cut to create some more breathing room as well to allow us to get some imrpovements in here.

He also said he told Rivera if they do this right him and JR will be holding up the Lombardi. -Think about that for a second. The team has to improve or at least the win-loss record must imrpove for Rivera to deserve to keep his job. If we go backwards at all then theres no way he's hoisting up a Lombardi with us ever.

This guy has done nothing thus far to differ himself from what we saw under Hurn dog. I'd even argue something would have been worked out with Gross by now if Hurney was still here.

I have made no firm judgements on him as of yet but seems some of you will give him a free pass no matter what and just blame everything on Hurney.

We have no money dude...we can't make significant progress, when we have contracts like Beasons, Dwills, Godfreys, J-Stews. I'm very concerned about this team. But blaming any of this on Gettleman is preposterous.

What about my post said I was blaming anything on him? I am not upset or happy at this point as it is too early but I am not going to give him a free pass to suck for a year or 2 or 3 because of those contracts.

In all honesty, who thought he was going to come in and we'd be Superbowl contenders this coming season. Lets get real. Be patient, and eventually we will be. Look at what the Niners went through to get to where they are now.. years and years of mediocrity. Hopefully won't take that long, but we gotta be patient. In Gettleman I trust.

Years and years of mediocrity describes our franchise. Our entire existence has been below average pockmarked by a few hilites.

The 49ers were probably the best franchise from 1981 to 2002. Looks like 19/22 winning seasons or so during that time and now back to back playoff appearances in 2011 and 2012.

How do you take that as defending Hurney? Whatever he did is water under the bridge. Get over it. We can dwell on the past all you guys want and use that as en excuse to feel better in the event that Gettleman does not improve this team.
